So, do the Montero and Montero Sport 3.0L and 3.5L engines come with the threaded hole under the intake for the knock sensor from the factory even though the vehicles didn't come with knock sensors originally?


I can't say for the Montero Sport or any 3.5L, but the early Montero 3.0L SOHC engine blocks are not threaded for for the knock sensor plate (into which the knock sensor is mounted).

The block I'm using is a 10:1 C/R SOHC Diamante block that does have the holes for the sensor mounting plate, but I don't remember the year.

I'm using the OE knock sensor with a KnockSense circuit...... don't know if it works or not because I've never seen the LED light up - but my tune is conservative.
